Product Details

The Murlocs have spent years earning their stripes in the Australian garage underground, with frontman Ambrose Kenny-Smith pulling double duty as the harmonica player for King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. That cross-pollination of psych-rock ambition and raw, blown-out blues runs deep in their DNA, and Rapscallion channels it into something leaner and meaner than anything they'd attempted before.


A coming-of-age novel in album form, populated by an outrageous cast of misfit characters: teenage vagabonds and small-time criminals, junkyard dwellers and truck-stop transients. Rapscallion marks a major creative leap and the most magnificently heavy work yet from The Murlocs. Led by Ambrose Kenney-Smith the band instill each of the 12 hypnotic, volatile rock-and-roll songs with the freewheeling energy they’ve brought to the stage supporting Pixies, Stephen Malkmus, Ty Segall and Thee Oh Sees.
